What is really wrong with me

I don't want to see the doctor as I think I have been misdiagnosed. He gave me antibiotics after explaining all the symptoms related to cealic disease and that I had eaten a game meat which was caught in the wild and tasted ink like. As he stated I have gardinis . Also I had been having liver problems for 4 years now and as I remember I've had a drink and I started bloating, gassy only one drink of alcohol I stopped after, after 2 months I had one drink again and it was worse. My liver was in pain. And that's weight I was stated experiencing all the related cealic symptoms. I started to eat fatty foods, all day and it got really worse. Oh and after the antibiotics things got better. Stool retuned to brown. I was still eating gluten tho. But I just decided to quit eating it as I Googled too much about it and thought maybe I have it. So I don't know if it's my liver or I have cealic now. No one in my family has it. And I'm a black south african and no one knows it were I live even all my family say they don't have it and no one had it. It is rare were I live. When my liver hurts my stool is yellow my gut feels hot. I get bloated and I'm constipated all the time cause I don't eat bread anymore too. When my liver doesn't hurt. I poop brown. Anyone with similar experience

We can not diagnose you over the internet.  We are not doctors, just people who have celiac disease.  

It sounds like you have several issues and that your doctor is on the right track.  Lactose intolerance (milk sugars) is very common.  A vast majority of the world’s population is lactose intolerant.  Maybe the infection you had triggered your lactose intolerance which may resolve once you have really healed (and it sounds like you are still healing).  Note that antibiotics can cause a temporary imbalance in your GI tract.  Consider avoiding all milk products for a while.  And maybe get back to your doctor when you can.  Your infection may not have completely resolved.  

Celiac disease is primarily in Caucasians (and Northern Indians).    They know this from genes.  You can read about this in this articles.  Are there other genes?  Maybe, but they have not been identified.  Not to say that some South Africans could not have celiac disease.  They might if they have ancestors who hail from Northern Europe.

True because no one has it in my family. But my mother was anemia when she was alive, may her soul rest in peace.. She ate gluten tho. Didn't have any symptoms. She was taking anemia medicine and was okay. It might be my liver, or the gardinis. Cause before the antibiotics it was worse. But I read that yeast cause bacterial overgrowth in the gut. And I remember I have made fermented alcohol using suger and yeast last year December. After having it I had mild bloating, that's was full blown after ingesting another alcohol after 2 months and that game meat. And my liver must have been affected. Also I used to drink codeine with sprite with my friends, I quit after liver pain. And I just stopped smoking weed after being sick of the symptoms. So it might not be cealic after all. But still I haven't eaten gluten for a month now and I'm freaking out of eating eat again. And yes milk really gives me worse symptoms ever.

Today I have bought lactose free milk, is it safe for the gut or must I avoid dairy all together?

There are many different types of anemia.  Your mother’s may have been genetic (i.e. sickle cell anemia, Thalassemia, etc.) 

Milk products are safe for celiacs.  That is different from being lactose intolerant.  If milk causes you problems then do not drink it.  

Again, the only way to tell if you have celiac disease is to get tested.  

I wish you well.

I’m not a doctor. I have had gallbladder issues, though and some of those symptoms are similar. Maybe talk to your doc (or a different doc) about that? Did the doctor you went to test you for antibodies?

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Skinesa

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
